Candied Pecan Crusted Blue Cheese Balls

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! If you just remembered you’re responsible for bringing the app tomorrow… have no fear. We’ve gotcha covered with these sweet + savory cheese balls.

I recently had dinner at The Love in Philly for the first time, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in Philly, for sure. Shout out to the mushroom toast. Whoa. Anyway… the other, seemingly small, but bright star of the meal was the candied pecan blue cheese that was on their “Labor of Love” cheese plate. Recipe-inspiring good.

Candied pecans have always been popular around the holidays, so when thinking what recipes to create for the holidays, this one just made sense! Making our own candied pecans proved much simpler than anticipated—all you need is a little time!

Note: You will have tons of extra candied pecans from this recipe, if you use 16 ounces of pecan halves like we did. So, you can adjust the amount to fit your needs, or you can embrace the holiday candied pecan spirit and enjoy the leftovers throughout the season–make a pie, throw them in salads, top muffins with them, add them to smoothie/yogurt bowls… the list goes on and on!
